KB11832: How to enable Scheduler tracing in MicroStrategy 9.x - 10.x.

The Scheduler Trace is useful for monitoring and/or troubleshooting the execution of different scheduled tasks available in Strategy Intelligence Server. Information regarding the trigger of schedules and the execution of tasks associated with it can be written to a log file for further analysis.
 
To enable Scheduler tracing, perform the following steps on the Strategy Intelligence Server machine: 

1. Open the Strategy Diagnostics Configuration tool, by selecting Start > Programs > Strategy > Tools > Diagnostics Configuration if running on Windows, or running <Strategy HOME>/bin/mstrdiag, if running Strategy Universal on UNIX/Linux environments.
2. In the 'Select Configuration' section, select 'CastorServer Instance'.
3. Enable the Console Log column checkbox for the Kernel component, Scheduler Trace dispatcher, as shown below:

• In the File Log column, choose the log file destination. An existing destination can be used. For better analysis, it is suggested to create a new log destination.  

 
For additional information, refer to the Strategy Help file or contact Strategy Technical Support.
 

• Save the configuration and exit. Make sure the newly created Log Destination is selected in the File Log column before saving changes.
• Restart the Strategy Intelligence Server to the reflect changes.
